Cultivating a heart of gratitude and joy.
Dear God, as I stand before You, I long for a renewed mind and spirit. Clear my thoughts of anything that does not serve Your purpose for my life. Nurture in me a deep desire for Your truth, guiding me away from distractions. Help me to cultivate thoughts of kindness, compassion, and love rather than indulging in negativity. May my heart be filled with gratitude and my mind with joy. Surround me with Your wisdom, Lord, to discern what brings me closer to You. In Your precious name, I pray. (Colossians 3:2; 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)
